It wa the city of Talent
rather than the South Talent
Sanitarv district which re
ceived approval from the Ore
gon Slate Sanitary authority
for Federal money toward
construction of a sewage
treatment plant last week.
Some readers were a little
confused at to which entity
was involved. So were we,
And judging from the head
line in another valley news
paper, its editors were too
But upon investigation we
learned that the city of Talent
had applied for a Federal
grant to assist in financing
enlargement of its sewage
treatment plant so that it can
handle a population of up to
10,000 persons.. The Talent
councilmen have two things
In mind: the growth of Talent
itself and the probability that
the South Talent district's
sewer system, when installed,
will use the city's treatment
plant.
The Federal grant would
cover about a third of the cost
of the project. The city, we
understand, has been gradu
ally building up a fund, which
would cover anotner tnira,
leaving Just one-third of the
cost to be raised through
bonds.

Fraaway Signs
Approaching Grants Pass
from the southwest on high
way 190, one can see that the
businessmen along old 09 on
the south side of the Rogue
River have done pretty well
In their negotiations with the
state highway department to
keep traffic off the freeway.
As far as we could see, there
isn't a single sign on the south
side of Grants Pass to indicate
that the freeway even exists.
The signs state quite clearly
that the way to go to Mcd
ford is to take the old high
way. And then when one
drives into Grants Pass, the
signs guiding traffic onto the
castbound lanes of the free
way say nothing of Mcdford.
They simply read "Freeway."
Tidbits
. A. Louis Day, our Trail
correspondent, showed up
last week with a story under
his arm. He had read in this
column about the fact that
It took eight days for some
mall to travel from Central
Point to Mcdford, Mr. Day ex
plained, and he was a little
fearful of what might happen
to mail coming from Trail to
Medford-ovcr four times the
distance. , ;
FIRE HAZARD Tall dry grass constitutes a serious fire
hazard during summer months. Such a condition on vacant
lots and other property is in violation of Gold Hill city
ordinance 122, which requires owners to cut down any tall
dry grass, weeds or other growth. Individuals are responsi
ble for any damage to someone else's property as a result
of a fire.
